<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 283115, member: 60"]One of my relatives had a jewelry store in NY. He carried very expensive high end pieces. He had a simple pair of pearl earrings that were priced around $15k or $18k. I can't remember the exact amount but I almost fell off the stool in his store. I also can't remember his exact explanation but it was something about real pearls with this type of sheen (can't remember what he called it), in this type of color ( it had to do with brightness and maybe whiteness) and almost a perfect match, were rare. He went to his vault and brought them out. I do recall they were very pretty but, I still couldn't fathom spending that kind of money on 2 pearls. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wish he were still around and, I wish I had paid more attention.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
